Martin Nicolausson believes in igniting curious thought whenever and wherever he can. As a child he would spend equal amounts of time questioning adults and drawing on his guinea pigs face. These dramatic tensions can be seen is his present work where Martin plays with the combination of digital and analogue with equal amounts nostalgia and bold vision. Recognised as an ADC Young Guns winner in 2010, Martin counts Absolut Vodka, The Economist, Topman and The New York Times amongst his clients. He’s been featured in numerous publications and has exhibited worldwide.
